ABSTRACTIn this paper we have studied the thermoelectric power under strong magnetic field in degenerate semiconductors on the basis of fourth order in effective mass theory and taking into account the interactions of the conduction electrons, heavy-holes, light-holes and split-off holes respectively. The results obtained are then compared to those derived on the basis of the well-known three-band Kane model. It is found, taking n-Hg1-xCdxTe as an example, that the magneto-thermo power increases with decreasing electron concentration and increasing magnetic field respectively for both the models in an oscillatory way. The oscillations are due to SdH effects and the theoretical snelysis in accordance with fourth order in effective mass theory is in agreement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere. In addition, the corresponding results for parabolic energy bands have also been obtained as special cases of our generalized foriulations.
